SEPTEMBER IDIOMS: “Pass the hat” on Day 265 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids

Here on 365 Days of Literacy for Kids, your kids will be “dressed” with IDIOMS during the month of September.

IDIOMS are phrases that reveal “secrets” from the past. IDIOMS come from many sources, many languages, many authors, many cultures.  The “hidden” meanings in IDIOMS are great fun for kids, but also teach important, interesting and intriguing lessons in how language has developed and evolved over time.

Each SEPTEMBER IDIOM on 365 Days of Literacy for Kids will address something to do with clothing… such as teaching kids the meaning of the cha-ching or humbling pass the hat idiom.

The idiom pass the hat means to collect donations, ask for money, solicit contributions; to beg.

Origin of pass the hat Idiom:  Pass the hat comes from the tradition of both street entertainers and minstrels passing a hat as a receptacle to collect tips.  Watch out for passing hats!  Your kids have learned something interesting today!

Dress your kids for back-to-school success with knowledge and attention to pass the hat.

Take a few minutes each day in SEPTEMBER to teach the secrets of IDIOMS to your kids & grandkids.  Understanding IDIOMS is a wonderful way to enrich reading and language development.

And I’m not just talking through my hat!
